what is nema 3 r…..?

February 12, 2010 - 10:19 pm 1 Comment

it says i have to drill a 1/4 inch hole in this enclosure in order for it to meet the requirements of nema 3 r. should i drill a hole in it? it is regularly exposed to washdown environments.

Are IEC (IP) and NEMA Standards mandatory (specifically for enclosures)?

October 7, 2009 - 9:21 pm 1 Comment

I know that NEMA standards are not, since they neither test nor certify any products, and I’m assuming that the IEC’s IP Standards are the same way, but I just want to be sure.

Standards are simply agreements on common terms.

The question of whether adherence to a standard is mandatory depends on the legal jurisdiction in which the installation takes place. It is possible that the "Authority Having Jurisdiction" (that’s the generic term for the electrical inspection agency that determines what is acceptable in your area) may require compliance with certain standards.

7.5hp 3phase pressure washer motor. motor rated 21.6 amps FLA +1.6amp burner. What size 3 phase gfi breaker?

October 1, 2009 - 9:56 pm 3 Comments

It’s an italian motor, so it’s hard starting. Any recommendations on breaker/enclosure combo? Nema 3r prefered.

from 2008 NEC

430.52 time delay fuse of not more than 175% fla or inverse time breaker of not more than 250% of fla.

any of the major manufacturers can help you out with the enclosure.

I NEED help to finding heat output of 15 hp electric motor and then use that data to calculate heat radiation?

hi
i m working on my corn mill and my corn mill need new electric or diesel motor with 15 hp. i need to calculate the heat output of a 15 HP motor and then use that data to determine the heat radiated at(btw grinding unit and motor at different distances);
1 inch away
2 inches away
3 inches away
…uptil 6 inches away.
the motor info is :

i need help like how to calculate and which eqn i have to use it.
really need help please please.
thanks

The rated mechanical output of the motor is 15 Hp or 15 X 746 = 11190 watts.
The nameplate efficiency is 89.5% or 0.895.
Using losses = output power X (1-efficiency) / efficiency), the losses are 11190 X (1-.895) / 0.895 = 1313 watts.

The motor’s nameplate rated ambient temperature is 40C. The performance information on the Baldor web site indicates that the typical temperature rise of the windings at full load is 80C. The motor’s surface temperature would be considerably less that the winding temperature, but assume that the surface temperature is 120C or 393K.

The radiated heat in watts can be calculated using q(W) = rT^4Ae, where r is the Steffan-Boltzman constant = 5.67E-8, T is the Kelvin temperature, A is the surface area in m^2 and e is the emissivity. The surface area can be estimated at 0.6 m^2 from the drawing provided on the Baldor web site. The emissivity of gray painted steel can be estimated to be 0.9. The maximum radiated heat can then be calculated to be 730 watts. The remaining 583 watts can be presumed to be transferred to the air by direct conduction. The radiated energy would also be absorbed by the air if not transferred to a fairly close object.

Obviously the heat dissipated by a diesel engine would be considerably more since the efficiency is only about 30%. However, quite a bit of the heat could be carried out of the area by piping the cooling water to a remote radiator.

Revision:
A small diesel engine is going to be a lot less efficient than 30%. I think 15% may be more likely.

Where can I find empty NEMA 1 stud mountable electrical enclosures?

I get them at my local electrical supply store. They usually sell to contractors, and hardware stores, so you could get one by asking your locale hardware store to get one for you, or the outlet may sell one to you. Look in the yellow pages under electric equipment & supplies. Give them a call and ask them if you can buy one from them, or what local store would have them.
